Brief History Of Corruption In Nigeria by sumboty: 2:06pm On Jul 28, 2018
*BRIEF HISTORY OF CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA �*

1. *1960-1966:*
Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa- no public funds stolen.

2. *1966*
Major Gen. Aguyi Ironsi- no public funds stolen.

3. *1966-1975:*
Gen. Yakubu Gowon- little stealing of public funds began gradually.

4. *1975-1976:*
Gen. Murtala Muhammad- zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline.

5. *1976-1979:*
Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo- Military egg heads started owning huge properties, oil Blocs running into Millions of dollars.

6. *1979-1983:*
Alhaji Shehu Shagari- looting galore by Ministers, party functionaries and other government big wigs.

7. *1984-1985:*
Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari- zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline.
Some corrupt politicians bagged 200 years jail terms.

8. *1985-1993:*
Gen Ibrahim Babangida- freed all jailed politicians; liberalized the architecture.
In one fell swoop about $12 Billion varnished.
He is called the father of corruption.

9. *1993-1998:*
Gen. Sani Abacha- over $25 Billion looted in four turbulent years.

10. *1998- 1999:*
Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar- about $2 Billion looted in 11 months.

11. *1999- 2007:*
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo- His Bank account is said to have grown from N20,000 after leaving prison to Multi-Billion dollars with choice properties across major cities. $16 Billion allegedly meant for electric power projects vanished. Another N300 Billion [$2b] for roads disappeared.

12. *2007-2010:*
Alhaji Umar Yar'Adua- reserved and sick. Looted funds have not been traced to his regime.

13. *2011-2015:*
Dr. Goodluck Ebelle Jonathan- in 2011 elections about N2.6 Trillion disappeared.

Over $31Billion stolen in 2yrs.

Another $2.6 Billion was stolen in 2015 elections.

More revelations on stolen public funds during his tenure are still emerging.

His regime in terms of corruption cannot be described in words.

14. *2015 - date.* PMB. Integrity, Zero tolerance for corruption, recovery of looted funds....

This is why the enemies of the nation hate him. Who is he to take away their rightful yams?

May we never have Goats in charge of our yams again.

It is well with Nigeria.

Please give it wide publicity till it gets to them directly or indirectly.

It baffles me how someone in a right frame of mind and living and working in Nigeria can say this administration that does not know its left from right is okay. as if they are different from the rest.

May all your family heads lead your family as Buhari is leading Nigeria, AMEN.

Igbos are sidelined in nigeria's politics by their character corruption. The betrayal of other military personnels that led to killing of S. L. Akintola and Tafawa Balewa while Zik was told to run away led to counter - coup that brought in Gowon. The level of corruption is being exhibited in every dealing with Igbo in market places (Igbo sense) is alarming: Innocent Chukwu (IVM) and GTB an example; Alison Madueke. stella odua etc are all in the corrupt government If you try all igbo presidency today, they will sell Nigeria! No tribe in nigeria is clean of corruption, we all the same.

Check my post. Stop defending any tribe. there is no government in Nigeria since selfrule that has not got participation from all tribes. Given Igbo a trial they will do worse. we all thesame. Tell me , is the development in your state commensurate with allocation and revenue received and generated? are Hausa or Yoruba rrunning your government there? I can even sense corruption in you.

1. You are still derailing

2. Igbo can never be same as Yoruba or Hausa so, we are not same.

3. In terms of development and progressive leadership, igbo stand first.

4. Yes, the allocation is commensurate with the development going on in southeast if not even better considering the meagre allocation we get due to government negligence.

Lastly, imagine that civil war happened in South west or north east of Nigeria and tell me how that place will look today? An average igbo man lives better than an average Yoruba or Hausa man. The fact that Nigeria's political corruption has been Yoruba and hausa-Fulani doing still stands. Cry me a River.

Yes igbo in different from hausa - yoruba in that igbo believes in playing second fiddle while the others believe that rulership. You live in self delusion and brag about non - existing wealth and how you develop and own other peoples' land. in nigeria alone not to talk of black race, mention one igbo man dead or alive considered to be the richest.

Stupid excuses. If your igbo land is so blessed why don't you stay there and make your fortune? Why crying foul if you are richer and wiser than others? Why are igbos considering themselves endangered species in Nigeria? Upon all bragging mention one igbo man dead or alive considered to be richest black man or woman.

I'm done with you Mr man, you behave like a typical BMC; so incoherent and inconsistent. By the way having the richest individual from your tribe/country doesn't guarantee well-being of your tribesmen or country; dangote and northern Nigeria/Nigeria is typical example. Switzerland is one of the most stable countries of the world yet they have never produced world's richest, so your question is irrelevant. Lastly, England didn't get to where they are today by staying in England, they did that by moving out to conquer people like you. Please, don't quote me again because you lack knowledge, thanks.
